Moonspear You can see your life out the window tonight

The words Wraen said caused her ears to prick. Either Wraen didn't know Korei Julia and the depth of her stupidity, which was entirely possible, or she knew something. Wraen freezing was enough to cause the keen-eyed Hydra to be suspicious, but Wraen had earned the benefit of her doubts. If Wraen wanted to consider loyalty, she ought to consider Hydra's growing affinity for the silver-furred wolf herself. To hear Wraen continue really caused nothing but relief for Hydra, though she could not help but turn her head and bear her teeth toward the cutting wind. Leave it to Korei Julia to make that decision in the dead of Winter, she said with a huff, when there is a war afoot. Hydra shook her head.

But if Korei Julia abhored her family and their decisions so much, that was entirely on her. And so was her death. The shackles of her loyalty to Korei Julia where thus lifted—Korei Julia might be her sister, but that was unfortunately not her choice. With a sigh, Hydra glanced back to Wraen. To tie a neat little bow over the situation, Hydra—for her own peace of mind, as well—felt it important to ask: you think she'll be okay out there? Limited food, wolves that attacked children, predators...

Hydra shook her head of the thoughts. You know what, let's try not to worry about that. Korei Julia made an adult decision. She's my sister, she glanced to the horizon, that gives her a fighting chance. She grinned. Their bloodline made for stubborn fighters, that was for sure. Anyway, Hydra was frankly a little bit relieved. Korei Julia would maybe learn some things out there used to go in one ear and out the other with her.

Or, maybe she would die. Whichever. Whatever. It wasn't her problem. Not anymore.
